    @potluck45 At about three months old, my daughter could only nap for longer than 30 min on me. So I held her for every nap (or wore her) until she was 14 months, when she went to daycare. I was freaking out thinking she'd never sleep there but lo and behold she slept just fine from the first...

    We already have four. Should I have another?

    @sociology I’ve heard advice to have the fewest number of children that you would be happy with. That really resonated with me. If you’re happy as is, that’s a sure bet. No need to risk it unless you’re dissatisfied with the current situation. And as others have mentioned, unless the other...

    At what age does having one semi-absent parent effect a child long term

    @jgasser My husband was just gone for about 3 weeks due to work travel and Covid (we had him stay out of the house). My 5-year-old is actually totally fine with it and hasn’t changed at all, largely because I can explain to her what happened. I can tell her why dad isn’t there, when he’s coming...

    Help! 8 month old suddenly can’t sleep unless he’s in my arms

    @mickie1 Update to what happened: I realized I was going to bed very sleepy, which meant that when he woke up to eat, it took me longer to wake up. At that point, he was very nearly fully awake and when he’s like that (also toward the morning, around 6/7am), he needs me to hold him to sleep...

    Help! 8 month old suddenly can’t sleep unless he’s in my arms

    @kingdomkings After trying gentle sleep training with my first kid, I’m willing to put up with this for years. It’s just a bit more irritating to sleep close to sitting up so I was wondering if anyone had this experience and whether it got better. As for sleeping independently, I think it...

    Help! 8 month old suddenly can’t sleep unless he’s in my arms

    @egg Thank you! How long did it last? Mine doesn’t really roll around—he’s in the same position and just cries. We’ve been doing white noise and black out curtains since birth :)

    Help! 8 month old suddenly can’t sleep unless he’s in my arms

    We have coslept since pretty much day 1 from the hospital. Typically I can put him down and he’ll sleep for 1-3 hours without waking up. Then I join him in bed and when he wakes, I’ll pop a boob in while I’m still laying down and he’ll eat and then go back to sleep. Lately (past week or so)...
